Best RV Parks & Resorts near Wapiti, WY

This campground has pros and cons. It lacks trees, but has neat craggy rock formations surrounding it. There are both sites with and without RV hookups and a river flows past the campground. From the campground it's only about a 15 minute drive to the east gate of Yellowstone National Park. In the other direction, Cody, WY and its world-class museum are about a 45 minute drive.

We stayed here for a few days while visiting Cody, Yellowstone and The Tetons. They give a Good Sam discount and Military Discount. Nice folks who run the place. Clean. Amenities. Close to everything to do in town. Full hookups. Would stay again. Not crowded although full so easy to get around. There aren’t really any trees in the park so don’t expect shade but other than that great place. We did look around at the other campgrounds while we were in town and were not impressed.

Location was great to do anything you want to do and Cody, (because Cody is such a small town.)

There is grass and trees (yay shade!) and the lots were big and spacious enough. The owner intentionally spaces you out from your neighbor to give some privacy which is super nice. The lot looks newly refinished in terms of asphalt. Full hookups and picnic tables.

Our site was in the far corner close to the road and field, but traffic wasn’t too loud, and it felt pretty secluded. We could even walk to a grocery store or several fast food/ food truck options. Sites were almost level!

The RV park has laundry and bathrooms both which works just fine. The hot water worked well. Not great Verizon or ATT service, but the WiFi worked well the whole time. You just have to reconnect every time you idle.

While not on the official rodeo bus pick up sheet, we called and asked if they could pick us up and they did without any issue.

Great interactions with staff. Overall, easy and good stay. 5/5 from us!

Came in 10 minutes before the office closed (9pm) and the host was super friendly and welcoming. A full hook up pull thru was $42 after tax. The park was extremely clean. The bathrooms were open until 1am and the showers were free and very clean. There wasn’t a whole lot to see but park is extremely short walking distance to a burger king.

Very clean friendly spot with full hook ups. Not much green space at all but it was great for our overnight spot before heading into Yellowstone. Quite a bit of road noise, even through the night. I would stay again when I come back to the area.  One other point of concern is that the campground waters every night, with very hard water that leaves tough to remove spots on you camper and vehicle.  Get them off ASAP.

This was by far our favorite RV park on our recent trip out west. We had a spot on the outer circle and the lots were huge and they backed up to a field or the river which was a great view. The facilities were clean and managed well. We didn’t try the restaurant so we can talk to that but it looked nice. The only drawback to this RV park how far from Yellowstone it is. It’s 35+ minutes from the East entrance which is already an hour away from most of Yellowstone’s major places to visit but we enjoyed it immensely.

Arrived during the labor day weekend. The campground was super crowded. The campsites were large and spacious. Campground management was very active keeping up with the vault toilet cleaning very well. Would've been a great experience if it wasn't for the camper trailer next to our site using a very loud, obnoxious generator for several hours at a time.

Nice RV Park with lots of trees and a pretty river running next to the park. Tent camping is ok and there are some small cabins.

Full service campground, clean and all amenities are well kept. Lower rating due to the price, we visited in July and paid with Good Sam discount $95/night!

Very nice Rv park with indoor hot tub , outdoor pool. Also nice showers . Think there were 6 individual showers with toilet and sink. So you can have complete privacy. With taking a hot shower in a small room ventilation could have been better. Overall good location

If I was going to build a rv park I would copy this place ! Lois in the office is a life long resident of Cody and full of great information on local places to see and things to do and she is a super nice lady 

Access to Rex Hale was easy following the website instructions. Basically, you follow the signs through Cody to Yellowstone National Park via US 14, the park is right off US 14. There was no formal check-in. We had a reservation and that was noted on the post at our back-in site 9 with 50/30 AMP. There was confusion on our part whether we needed to get water before or after arriving based on several campground(CG) reviews. We called the ranger station the day prior who confirmed the water was on at the CG. Then we found out upon arrival that the sites as you come into the CG on the right side of the road up to site 12 have not only electric but also water! This was a recent addition and why water had been nonexistent or off in recent CG reviews. We were told there was a camp host but the host had actually already departed for the season. There was no cell signal nor OTA channels. There are about 30 sites with only sites 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 12 having electric and, now, water. The middle sites, the far CG end to the east and along the riverside of the CG have no utilities. There are water spigots periodically placed throughout the CG. There are several vault toilets but no showers. There is no dump station in the CG, but there is one in Buffalo Bill State Park near Cody. We were staying at an RV park in Cody and just dumped there. We were very impressed with this CG and really enjoyed our spacious site, the mountain views and the peacefulness of the place. We were here when they closed the CG for the season on 20 September and would definitely come back.

This review is based on a short term versus destination RV park point of view. Our arrival email stated not to arrive before 3:00 PM and we were coming in from about an hour away so we called the office to see if early arrival would be permitted. Since we were arriving on a Monday, well into September, our site was empty and we were told to come on in, which was nice. Check in was super fast and we proceeded to pull through site 18 with FHUs. Utilities were placed in the middle of the site which was nice. Buffalo Bluff is a fairly new campground(CG) and we were impressed with its cleanliness. We received a good amount of OTA stations plus they had cable with decent channel selections. Since there are no trees within the park, satellite would not be a problem. There’s a small fenced dog-park and plenty of area to walk the dogs. We received 4 bars on Verizon. We enjoyed our short stay and would consider staying here again.

Lots of shady trees. Full hookups. Shower laundry etc

Sites are extremely close. There are no trees. Hook ups for RVs are adequate. The pool area is the highlight with 2 pools (one kiddie) and a hot tub. All very clean. The basketball area is very nice too but too hot to play for us today. There’s a playground, large outdoor chess and scrabble.

The store is small but packed with a lot of souvenirs mostly. I didn’t use the restroom on my stay. The game room looked a bit worse for the wear. Free pancakes in the morning, but the kids weren’t interested. I’m gluten free so no pancakes for me.

Wapiti Campground has easy access to the Shoshone River and there is a nice trail that goes into the mountains behind it. But not much else going for it. The sites are mostly exposed patches of rocky and dusty ground. The bathrooms are just outhouses and you have to forage for your own firewood; you can’t buy any on site. It’s unmanned without any amenities. My site (#30) was ok but this is really just a place for rvs to park. Camp hosts were nice enough to give me some firewood. I would not go back though. Also: it’s about 2 hours from any of the popular attractions in Yellowstone.
